I consider the act of writing to be a craft, and the image of the wheel of the potter resonates well with my intention to create.
My first audience is myself. I write to clarify my thinking, to capture contemporaneous events & ideas, and to document what I have discovered and learned – at a point in time.
A secondary goal is to help others: To illuminate, teach, educate, elevate, inform, advise, and provide insights.
My writing is published through three primary channels: This blog, my LinkedIn posts, and my collection of GitHub repositories.
With respect to LinkedIn, I took a moment today to reflect on some of my LinkedIn engagement stats.
Note:
- My current LinkedIn Connections count: 6,830
- I am *very* selective about who I connect with on LinkedIn.
- I decline more connection requests than I accept.
- Given a choice between gaining 60K more followers/connections, or just two high quality connections that create, make, contribute, share, and actively post/write – without hesitation, I will choose just the two.
